<title>Filtering on the mailing lists</title>
<para>The &os; mailing lists are filtered in multiple ways to
avoid the distribution of spam, viruses, and other unwanted emails.
The filtering actions described in this section do not include all
those used to protect the mailing lists.</para>
<para>Only certain types of attachments are allowed on the
mailing lists. All attachments with a MIME content type not
found in the list below will be stripped before an email is
distributed on the mailing lists.</para>

<para>Some of the mailing lists might allow attachments of
other MIME content types, but the above list should be
applicable for most of the mailing lists.</para>
</note>
<para>If an email contains both an HTML and a plain text version,
the HTML version will be removed. If an email contains only an
HTML version, it will be converted to plain text.</para>
